Under Changyi County, the city gate was opened once again. Ling Chao led his troops out of the city once again. This time, the number of people was large. If one were to look carefully, there were one-third more people than before.
"Tuoba Hai, you coward. Come out and fight with your grandfather for three hundred rounds!" Ling Chao came to the front and provoked Tuoba Hai's camp.
"Hmm?" Zhou Hai's brows immediately furrowed, and then he became furious. He was not angry that Ling Chao called him a coward, but angry that Ling Chao called him by his original name, Tuoba Hai. This was the name of the Xianbei people. In this era where the Han Dynasty reigned supreme, outsiders were considered barbarians and uncivilized people. Tuoba Hai had long regarded himself as a Han. Now that his origin was exposed, he was naturally angry. It was like a person who suddenly became rich and changed his name, but people still called him by his name when he was poor, Gou Dan.
This was intolerable! Tuoba Hai spurred his horse out and ordered thousands of cavalry soldiers to rush out of the camp.
"Ling Chao, a loser like you still dares to speak so boldly. Hurry up until your Grandpa Zhou Hai collapses. Your Grandpa Zhou Hai will reward you with a blade so that you can reincarnate as a human!" Tuo Ba Hai also pointed at Ling Chao and shouted loudly.
"Haha, Zhou Hai, haha! Tuoba Hai, you said that after entering Liaodong and becoming Gongsun Du's lackey, you even forgot your ancestors? Zhou Hai, what a joke! "Ling Chao continued to provoke Zhou Hai.
"Aiyaya, Ling Chao, your grandfather Zhou Hai will not return to the camp if I don't kill you and chop off your head!" Tuoba Hai immediately spurred his horse and charged towards Ling Chao.
The deputy at the side saw this and followed.
On the battlefield, Ling Chao and Tuoba Hai were exchanging blows. Ling Chao was using a saber. This saber had accompanied Ling Chao for a long time. Its previous owner was Lu Meng. However, after Lu Meng left the army, he left this saber to Ling Chao. On the opposite side, Tuoba Hai was using a spear that was commonly used by northerners. His spear technique was impeccable and looked very good.
"Damn it! This flawless spear technique was full of flaws in front of Ling Chao. For example, just now, Tuoba Hai used the tip of his spear to attack Ling Chao. At this time, Ling Chao could've closed in and ended Tuoba Hai's life. However, Ling Chao had no choice but to endure this attack. This was because if this attack continued, although it could defeat the Liaodong cavalry, it would be impossible to kill them all.
It was impossible for Ling Chao and the others to outrun four legs.
Ling Chao kept his promise and fought with Tuoba Hai for three hundred rounds. When he revealed an opening, Tuoba Hai grabbed his saber and knocked it out of Ling Chao's hand.
Without his weapon, Ling Chao didn't want to fight with Tuoba Hai. He turned his warhorse around and said, "Tuoba Hai, you are lucky today. Grandpa will fight with you tomorrow!" Then he spurred his horse and galloped away.
"Haha, Ling Chao, I already said that you are no match for your Grandpa Zhou Hai. Eat your Grandpa Zhou Hai's spear! As he spoke, he chased after Ling Chao.
"General, be careful of traps!" Tuoba Hai's Deputy General saw Tuoba Hai rushing over and his face changed. He was afraid that his General would be ambushed so he quickly chased after him. The thousands of cavalry under his command also followed.
Ling Chao was escorted back to the camp and the Yangzhou Marines were slowly retreating.
"Kill!" Zhou Hai had brought heavy cavalry with him, and now the armor of the Yangzhou Marine Corps was also considered heavy armor, so if the two sides wanted to fight, it seemed that they were evenly matched. However, the Yangzhou Marines were fighting and retreating at the same time. This gave the Liaodong Heavy Cavalry an illusion that the enemy was about to be defeated.
"General, don't chase. Don't chase! "The Deputy General quickly caught up with Zhou Hai and said to him," General, be careful of traps! "
"Hmm?" Tuoba Hai wasn't a fool. His previous enthusiasm had already worn off. He couldn't help but nod his head. He was really afraid of being ambushed. "Pass down the order. No more pursuit. Count the troops!"
"General, this must be a trick by the Yangzhou Marines. They will lose this time. However, General, have you ever seen Ling Chao being killed by you?" The Deputy General guessed.
"Hmm." Tuoba Hai was immediately dissatisfied. You are questioning his ability. "That Ling Chao is still strong!" Tuoba Hai said to the Deputy General. He was already reminding the Deputy General. However, the Deputy General continued to speak as if he was a war god. "General, look again. Every time we win, other than the flags being messed up, have they ever abandoned their armor? How many corpses did they leave behind? " “
Every time there was a battle, the Yangzhou Marines would retreat step by step. It was as if they had rehearsed it. This was definitely not right. "
"This is Yangzhou's military training!" "Tuo Ba Hai is very dissatisfied with this Deputy General. What do you mean by this? Is it fun to reject everything you have? After all, Tuo Bahai was his superior.
"General, the Yangzhou Army can't be well-trained every time. Ling Chao has already lost seven or eight times!" Tuoba Hai calmed down a lot because of his incessant chatter. Yes, if the retreat this time was orderly, then it meant that the Yangzhou Army was well-trained. However, if it was the same every time, then it would be unreasonable. It was like a drill. Yes, it was like a drill. Tuoba Hai even recalled that the Yangzhou Army would pick up their generals at the right time every time. If there wasn't anything fishy about this, then it really couldn't be justified.
However, Tuoba Hai's vigilance stopped here. This was because there was a count of the number of soldiers on the other side. They had lost less than a hundred men. However, the Yangzhou Marines had lost nearly a thousand men.
"Impossible! This is impossible!" Tuoba Hai's Deputy General's first reaction was that this was impossible. How could this be possible? This was a scheme by the Yangzhou Marines. "General, it is impossible. How could you cause so much damage to the Yangzhou Marines?" “
"Haha!" Tuoba Hai's expression immediately became awkward. What was this? What did he mean by saying that with Tuoba Hai's ability, he wouldn't be able to cause so much damage to the Yangzhou Army? Could it be that he was mocking Tuoba Hai? Tuoba Hai smiled sinisterly at his Deputy General.
The deputy general obviously knew that he had said something wrong. He immediately changed his tone, as if trying to salvage the situation. "General, no, listen to me, listen to me!" They must have picked the wrong person. Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! " It would have been better if he did not explain. Tuoba Hai's face immediately became uglier.
The messenger on the side was also annoyed. What do you mean? Are you doubting that we picked the wrong person? This wasn't anything else. It was just a bunch of corpses lying on the ground for them to count. How could they make a mistake?
"If General does not believe me, you can go and check it yourself. See if I am lying!"
"Yes, I want to go and check it out! I must go and check it out. You actually dared to lie to the General. Do you know what kind of crime this is? There is no joking in the army. It is enough to kill you! "The Deputy General was still talking.
"Let's go! Let's go and check it out! " Tuoba Hai could not stand it anymore. He said to the messenger on the side and let the messenger take him to count the number of corpses.
The messenger nodded and led the way. Soon, they arrived at the place where the corpses were placed.
The Deputy General took a deep breath when he saw the corpses. There were corpses everywhere. There were also the flags of the Yangzhou Marines.
The Deputy General roughly counted. There were at least a thousand corpses.
"This is impossible!" The Deputy General still did not want to believe it. Were the Yangzhou Marines really idiots? If that was the case, then how could it be explained why General An Yixuan and General Mo Ran lost to Yangzhou's troops? Those two were famous generals of Liaodong. It could even be said that if their names were placed in Liaodong, several small countries would tremble in fear.
"This might be because Mo Ran was not capable enough!" Tuoba Hai's lips curled up. He saw his spoils of war and was naturally happy.
"Not capable enough?" The Deputy General sneered. Half of the credit for Tuoba Hai being able to become Gongsun Du's subordinate was due to Mo Ran. This was because Mo Ran led the Eastern Suppression Army and destroyed Tuoba Hai's tribe. This allowed Tuoba Hai to join Gongsun Du.
If Mo Ran was not capable enough, then there were no other talents in Liaodong.
"These corpses must have been prepared beforehand!" The Deputy General said. He seemed to be slowly getting closer to the truth.
However, there was a saying that the truth was in the hands of the minority. It meant that most people did not believe in the truth. Or rather, they believed in lies more.
It was obvious that Tuoba Ye and the others had the same thought. "Prepared corpses? Then what about the armor on their bodies? This is Yangzhou's heavy armor. Don't tell me that the Yangzhou Marines are so generous that they even left the armor and swords for me! "Tuoba Hai picked up a sword and said to his Deputy General.
The ground was filled with corpses. The corpses were covered with Yangzhou's heavy armor and Yangzhou's new swords. A set of armor was worth a hundred gold. No matter how generous the Yangzhou Marines were, they could not be so generous.
The Deputy General was shocked. This was true. Yangzhou's new armor was not cheap. Just a thousand pieces were worth a hundred thousand gold. The Yangzhou Marines could not be so generous.
"I, I, I!" The Deputy General did not know how to explain and did not know where to start. He could only stand by the side.
